Embiid's Return Sparks Maxey, Sixers Cruise Past Pacers on the Road

Joel Embiid returned from his longest absence since November as the Sixers rolled to a 135-114 road win over the Indiana Pacers, with Tyrese Maxey delivering another superstar performance and flirting with a triple-double. Embiid eased into the game and finished with 27 on efficient scoring in 26 minutes, while Maxey anchored the offense with multi-level scoring and key plays as Philadelphia closed the second quarter on a burst and surged in the second half. The win, part of a 2-1 road trip, featured solid bench input from Adem Bona and VJ Edgecombe and a rotation tweak that saw Trendon Watford return. Andre Drummond was out of the rotation, and Philadelphia will head home to face the Miami Heat next.

Zubac Boost for Pacers, Kuminga Traded, Wizards Rebuild: Deadline Shifts the NBA

Post-deadline, the Indiana Pacers land Ivica Zubac for a package that could push them toward title contention; Kawhi Leonard’s Clippers face a tougher path after trading key pieces; the Warriors move Jonathan Kuminga to clear room for Kristaps Porzingis, reshaping their young core; the Mavericks are labeled losers for an imbalanced roster and uncertain guard play; the Wizards swing for relevance by pairing Trae Young with Anthony Davis in a bold retooling plan; and Shams Charania becomes the butt of league jokes as deadline chaos unfolds.

Clippers ship Zubac to Pacers for Mathurin, Jackson and two first‑round picks

The Clippers are trading center Ivica Zubac to the Indiana Pacers for Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson, plus the Pacers’ 2026 first-round pick (top-four protected and 10–30 protected), the Pacers’ 2029 unprotected first-round pick, and the Mavericks’ 2028 second-round pick. Los Angeles also receives Kobe Brown, with a conditional 2031 unprotected first-rounder going to the Clippers if the 2026 pick doesn’t finish 5–9. The deal pairs Indiana’s need for a starting center with L.A.’s move to add youth and multiple future picks during a potential rebuild.

Pacers land Ivica Zubac from Clippers as Mathurin heads west

Indiana Pacers reach a deal to acquire center Ivica Zubac from the Los Angeles Clippers, sending Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson, plus two future first-round picks and a future second-round pick, to L.A.; Kobe Brown also goes to Indiana. Zubac, a 29-year-old double‑double threat and top rebounder, provides Indiana frontcourt impact as Mathurin, a 23-year-old guard, has been posting career-best scoring and 3‑point shooting numbers. The swap marks a midseason reshaping for both teams amid Indiana’s rebuild and the Clippers’ post-Harden shift.

Pacers Target Zubac and Gafford as Deadline Sparks NBA Trade Buzz

The Indiana Pacers are targeting Ivica Zubac and Daniel Gafford as starting-center options, but the Clippers are asking for a steep price to move Zubac (potentially two unprotected first-round picks plus a young player). Gafford’s three-year deal complicates any deal, though it’s unclear how motivated the Mavericks are to move him. Meanwhile, the Bucks have signaled willingness to absorb unwanted contracts in exchange for draft assets after keeping Giannis, the Lakers are exploring margin moves while preserving cap space, and the Sixers are shopping Eric Gordon’s expiring deal with several teams involved.

Zubac Trade Buzz Grows as Pacers Pursue Starting Center

Indiana Pacers are among the teams eyeing Clippers center Ivica Zubac, with L.A. reportedly asking a premium for the 28-year-old who has been a steady two-way anchor; Indiana could include Bennedict Mathurin and other assets, but its $177M+ payroll and cap hits complicate a deal, and Celtics/Hornets were previously connected to Zubac.

Zubac Draws Trade Interest as Pacers Circulate Clippers Center After Harden Deal

Clippers center Ivica Zubac is drawing trade calls with the Indiana Pacers emerging as a prime suitor ahead of the trade deadline. Despite shipping James Harden to the Cavaliers, L.A. remains in the playoff race, and Zubac’s solid production keeps him attractive to teams needing frontcourt help. He’s under contract through 2027-28, so any move would be for more than a rental as a long-term asset for a new team.
